Phew! Just got it finished!!

CEO TREVOR BARTON reflects on the sad events of last week, and gives an insight into a long day of travelling, with the team to Gateshead.

Head Coach PAUL ROWLEY explains the positives of the last two victories and gives his verdict on our three young debutants at Gateshead

JOHN DUFFY takes a good look at our Under 18’s and moans about Wiganers.

DAVE PARKINSON reports on the Hunslet and Gateshead games, focuses on three of Thursday’s visitors and updates all his statistics. He also takes a look at his final two ‘New Centurions’. When you consider that he has at least a couple of jobs, and his work on Centurion Radio, Hospital Broadcasts, Love Rugby League, and the match commentaries, his output is staggering. We, on ‘The Centurion’ would be lost without him.

JEFF GORSE writes an ‘illuminating’ feature on the use of floodlights, in the amateur game while TERRY GORMAN reports on East’s first foray into ‘summer’ rugby.

‘Love Rugby League’s’ JAMES GORDON comes up with an interesting variation on the World Club Challenge and has a suggestion for a new trophy!

NATHAN LAWRENSON conducts an excellent interview with Bulldogs’ highly respected new coach, John Kear.

MAURICE JONES & WAYNE KEEGAN have captured the action from the mist-shrouded Hunslet game. Unfortunately, space currently prohibits us from using more of their photos.

JOHN RODDY updates us on his mate ‘BOB’

We have included details of FEATHERSTONE ROVERS’ excellent offer to visiting supporters – which we will be able to take advantage of, next week.

ALAN EDGE looks disbelievingly at dual standards in SL, a French farce and one of SL’s ‘elder statesmen’ who has an interesting role model! He also gives the lowdown on Batley’s new boys, including coach John Kear.

All this, plus the usual squad information, LISA news, information from the Club’s Lottery, and Commercial departments, and from the Touchdown Club – and it’s still just £2.50.

Make sure to buy your copy good and early, so that you won’t be disappointed!

The interview with John Kear is a real exciting one; he shares some passionate views on interesting concepts in the game including why he refuses to use the dual-registration.

Always a good read, keep up the good work.

A highly respected man throughout the game. I think Batley engineered something of a scoop, appointing him. I can't see him staying in the Championship very long.

Awesome fella, really enjoyed speaking to him.

Another thing we covered in the programme was his future
